Wall oven reviews

A good oven is an essential purchase you want to get right the first time. Our experts lab test and review wall ovens from leading brands like Bosch, Smeg, Fisher & Paykel, Electrolux and Miele to help you find the best performers on the market.

are best at roasting, grilling, multi-shelf cooking and low-temperature cooking

are easiest to clean (including which ones come with self-cleaning functions).

Our interactive comparison tool tells you the real internal dimensions of the oven, not just what's on the box, and it lists features such as pyrolytic and catalytic cleaning, smokeless grill trays, telescopic runners and steam cooking. We've also crunched the numbers to show you how much each model will cost to run. Our Recommended list will help you see quickly which models come out on top.

Ease of use score

Our home economist checks how easy the controls are to use, the clarity of the labels, using the grill and oven shelves, and cleaning the inside and outside of the oven. The ease of use score accounts for 40% of the overall score.

Measured internal baking volume (L)

The internal baking volume is calculated from measurements of the lowest shelf of the oven or baking tray (if supplied with one) to the grill element, side-wall to side-wall, and the rear-wall to the door.

Self-cleaning surfaces (catalytic liners)

Often referred to as 'self-cleaning' surfaces, catalytic liners work by absorbing fat splatters. You need to regularly heat the oven to 250°C for an hour to burn off the splatters and wipe them with a damp cloth when cool.

Steam function

Telescopic runners

Telescopic runners allow you to smoothly pull the oven racks and trays all the way out of the oven while keeping the shelf stable. They make loading, unloading and checking food while cooking much easier.

Availability

A Similar model is identical in most aspects except for a few. This means that a majority of its test results are identical so you can reasonably expect to get the same results from the model we tested, but for those aspects which aren't identical, we'll note these as "Not Tested" in the Compare tables.

A Tested model refers to a model that is still current and available in the Australian market. You should be able to order this model through your local retailer, or find it online.

These models can't be found in retailers or online or are no longer manufactured. You may still find these models on second hand websites, or in second hand dealers. Test methods may change over time, so criteria which can't be directly compared will contain an N/A.

An Identical model is exactly that. Performance characteristics will be identical and the only difference will be something trivial such as colour, which won't have an impact on performance.
